The Good Story
A Woof story
Travelling with a dog in Auckland should not require compromise.
The city has, quietly and without much fanfare, developed a collection of hotels and stays that understand what it means to genuinely welcome a dog — not just permit one. From the CBD to Waiheke Island, these are the addresses worth knowing.
QT Auckland — CBD Design-forward, bold, and genuinely dog-welcoming. QT sits at the centre of the city and treats four-legged guests with the same consideration as their owners. Visit QT Auckland →
Naumi Hotel Auckland Airport For those flying in or out with a dog. Vibrant design, comfortable rooms, and a pet policy that makes the logistics considerably easier. Visit Naumi Hotel →
Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour Five-star French elegance on the waterfront. Well-behaved pets are welcome to join in the sophistication. Visit Sofitel →
The Boatshed — Waiheke Island A boutique hotel worth the ferry ride. Stunning harbour views, luxurious rooms, and a relaxed island pace that suits dogs as well as it suits their owners. Visit The Boatshed →
Delamore Lodge — Waiheke Island An award-winning retreat surrounded by native bush and vineyard views. Intimate, exclusive, and entirely worth it. Visit Delamore Lodge →
Always confirm pet policies, size restrictions, and any additional fees directly with the property before booking.
Good Company. The best trips don't leave anyone behind.
